True North have confirmed a deal to broadcast all Winnipeg Jets games on 1290 Sports Radio and TSN Regional TV for 10 years. A new channel named "TSN Jets" will feature the first pre-season game on September 20th, 2011.

Ivan Telegin signed an entry level contract with The Winnipeg Jets on July 26, 2011.

On September 23, 2011, the Winnipeg Jets sent Telegin back to his junior team, the Barrie Colts, according to the Winnipeg Free Press. There were some hopes that Telegin could be a decent offensive weapon to come off of the bench for the Jets this season, but evidently True North feels that he is not quite ready.

Cormier was traded to the Thrashers along with Niclas Bergfors, Johnny Oduya & a first round draft pick (Aleksandr Burmistrov) for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Ilya Kovalchuk - February 4, 2010.

The Winnipeg Jets -- in conjunction with the St. John’s Ice Caps -- have signed forward Jason King to an AHL contract on August 4, 2011.

The Vancouver Canucks originally drafted King in the 7th round, 212th overall, in the NHL Entry Draft in 2001.

Jason King has played in the NHL, AHL and in Europe, is also excited about playing in St. John's.

"From the day I signed, the excitement has been building and building, and now that the day is here that we're finally getting going, it's hard to describe it," King said. "I'm more than excited to be back here. There's nobody more proud to be a Newfoundlander than I am." - Winnipeg Free Press.
